Imphal, December 14 2008:
Reacting to the statement of the Imphal East SP about the arrest of one Koijam Lemba Meetei alias Nanao (24) s/o late K Ibomcha Meetei of Khurai Chaithabi, reportedly involved in delivering demand letters under s/s finance secretary Salam Keshorjeet (28) s/o S Samungou of Khurai Nandeibam Leikai from Khurai Salanthong on December 10, the United Peoples' Party of Kangleipak (UPPK) has dismissed the statement as baseless.
A press release issued by UPPK's assistant secretary in-charge and district committee member of information and publicity department Khuman Laishramcha clarified that the post of the group's finance secretary has not been given to any individual although it is being manned by an in-charge.
Moreover, the central committee has not yet given permission to print letter of the finance department.
Saying that the party has not yet launched any fund collection drive, Khuman Laishramcha asserted that both Keshorjeet and Lemba alias Nanao are unknown to the party.
